LITTLE LAGOON - PAPAKOWHAI
This Lagoon is one of three lagoons that were created by the 1958-1961 causeway construction which was built to realign the North Island Main Trunk Railway. The causeway, which ran north-east from the city centre to Paremata, cut off three harbour bays turning them into lagoons. Aotea Lagoon was the central lagoon. The southern lagoon can still be seen to the south of the Gear Homestead. The northern lagoon was later filled in and what remains of this lagoon is on either side of Papakowhai Road between Romesdale Road and Brora Crescent. Thurso Grove is on the headland that formed the southern end of the northern lagoon. Bowler's Wharf, a commercial jetty owned by William Bowler the owner and builder of Papakowhai Homestead, was likely situated on the southern end of the northern lagoon. This wharf was severely damaged in an earthquake in 1848 and effectively demolished in the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake.
